Chapter 6 White Kimono

Iijima Kazuya also entered the woods.

To be honest, Kinai Eko's words still made him care very much. He didn't think Yachen's wife was still alive, and he didn't believe in the so-called strange story. However, there was always a knot in his heart.

"So……"

In front of the old man, Kamiya Sayoko asked again: "I want to ask, then, what about Mr. Takuzo Hasegawa's sister? He has a sister."

"Yes," the old man nodded and said, "I remember very clearly that Mr. Takuzo's sister is named Saenae, Hasegawa Saenae. Miss Saenae is a person who likes music very much. She plays the piano very well and has a quiet and docile personality. She is so pitiful. At a young age, she was inexplicably killed by her own brother."

"I want to ask." Pei Qingyi suddenly interrupted and asked in Japanese: "According to your words, Mrs. Kasushi and Mr. Takuzo's younger brother Keiji committed adultery, and Mr. Takuzo killed them all. But Mr. Takuzo himself also committed suicide. How did you learn about this? Did you leave a suicide note?"

"Yes, that's right. But it was not written in words. After Mr. Takuzo killed six people in his family, he wrote a paragraph on the wall with blood to explain the reason for his murder, and then committed suicide."

Hearing this, Kamiya Sayako held the pen in her hand to record and stopped.

"The word "blood..."? Can you confirm that the blood word was written by Takusaki Hasegawa himself?"

"This..." the old man paused and said, "Since the police think so, it should be right. Isn't it? Miss Kamiya, you said you are a detective from Kyoto, do you have any new ideas?"

"What if the truth of this case is not like that? If... the murderer is someone else, it would be completely different."

As soon as Shengu Xiaoyezi said this, Pei Qingyi immediately understood what she meant.

In other words... this may be a life path prompt. The murderer who killed seven people in the Hasegawa family may not be Hasegawa Takuzao, but there may be someone else. Can someone else be found? Can the real murderer be found so that the undead can rest in peace and no longer harm the residents?

However, how to investigate the case forty years ago? Moreover, the statute of limitations has long been passed, and it is impossible for criminals to be punished. Do they need to kill the criminals with their own hands?

Pei Qingyi still felt something was wrong. These deceased must have known the identity of the person who killed them. Since that is the case, the ghosts will not disperse after death, and there is a source of injustice and debt. You can go to the murderer to seek his life, but why do you have to let the residents find out the truth?

Unless... the apartment has restricted it, resulting in the need to take revenge by pretending to be alive.

If this inference is correct, is it true that the murderer is in Yeshen Village? After all, they cannot leave Damuhei Ridge, and Yeshen Village is the only place on this mountain where there are people.

Kamiya Sayako did not express her opinion, but said to the old man in front of her: "Continue talking."

"Well, what else do you want to ask?"

"There are three more people? You mentioned just now that Akui, the maid next to Mrs. Jiashi, knows the full name?"

"I really don't know this, I only know that her name is Akui, and the others don't know. As for the two servants, I remember one is Acheng and the other is Ajin."

"What do you think of these three people?"

"Impression...is not a memorial. Akui, Acheng and Ajin are just ordinary servants, and I have never seen these three people very much. That is, Akui has only seen her several times because she often follows Mrs. Jiashi."

"So...how do you think the relationship between these seven people?"

Speaking of this, the old lady suddenly looked at Kamiya Sayako with some vigilance and asked, "May I ask... Miss Kamiya? Why did you inquire so carefully? It was said that it was a detective from Kyoto, but it was all the cases from forty years ago. What else should I investigate? When the people from the Hasegawa family were dead, no one would entrust you to investigate?"

Although the old lady is old, she still seems to be very smart.

Kamiya Sayako reacted very quickly. She put down her notebook and said with her expression unchanged: "It's because of that strange story. There have been cases of missing outings because of this strange story before? I want to conduct some investigation on this."

"So that's it..." The old lady then felt relieved and said, "To be honest, I don't know if there is really a ghost. After all, at that time, everyone was rumored to have noses and eyes, so..."

"I'll continue the question just now." Kamiya Sayako did not waste any time and continued to ask: "According to your statement, you are not surprised by the love between Mrs. Kase and her brother-in-law. However, according to later statements, Mr. Takuzo killed his sister and servants because he suspected that these people had concealed the love. So... do you think, does Miss Saeko know about the love between Mrs. Kase?"

"How could I know this..."

Kamiya Xiaoye blinked and said, "Or, let me change my question. What do you think is the relationship between Mr. Takuzo Hasegawa's sister, Miss Saeno, and her two brothers?"

At this time, Sima Zhen pulled Pei Qingyi's clothes and asked softly: "Can you translate their conversation? I don't understand at all, I speak too quickly."

Pei Qingyi said without looking back: "The things I wrote in my notes are all in Chinese, you should understand it, right?"

This time, Sima Zhen, Sui Wenbin and Wu Xuanlin were all going to make up for Japanese, but it was too late to even recite the fifty-sounding table during this period. Moreover, Sima Zhen was known as an otaku, but he couldn't even tell the difference between Hiragana and Katakana, so he could only read some daily conversations. However, because he didn't know what it would be like to write Chinese characters in "Taozao", "Kashi", "Saeko" and other names, Kamiya Sayako could only write Roman characters in her notebook first, and Pei Qingyi also wrote Chinese characters based on guesses.

"Relationship?" The old lady heard Sayako Kamiya ask, tilted her head and thought for a while, saying, "I don't remember this. Usually, they live in that big mansion, and they don't come to Yeshen Village often."

Because this paragraph is slow, Sima Zhen finally understood a few words. After all, he has watched countless Japanese dramas and cartoons, such as "Naruto", "Death", "One Piece", "Gintama", etc., all of which are watching the original animations, so after a long time, he can understand some of the daily words.

However, Sui Wenbin and Wu Xuanlin are different. These two people don’t watch Japanese anime and Japanese dramas at all, so they can’t understand them at all. Although they all came over to see the notes of Pei Qingyi and Kamiya Sayako, the notes were recorded in a relatively sloppy manner. The old lady’s words were hard to guarantee that there would be no signs of life. They were all anxious and sweating. This was a matter of life and death! At this time, they all looked envious of Pei Qingyi who could hear Japanese. And they were also worried, will they tell all the information truthfully next? If they want to use one of them to experiment with a certain life path, it would be unfair to die? After all, if they don’t understand the language, they cannot prove whether their words are true or not.

Sui Wenbin had already broken up a Japanese conversation in his hand, and Wu Xuanlin was even more holding a "Japanese Dictionary" that was enough to be used as a pillow. The latter made up his mind to write down the previous words and then check the dictionary. He didn't believe much in Kamiya Sayako and Pei Qingyi. In comparison, the dictionary is definitely much more credible.

However, Wu Xuanlin was also a little worried. Will the dictionary in his hand be replaced by ghosts? Will the ghost simply tamper with his memory? The more blood-character analysis tables you read, the more suspicious and fearful you became.

At the end of the question, it was obvious that the old lady could not say anything. So, Sayako Kamiya asked the last question.

"Do you remember... Mrs. Kasui, Miss Saena, and Akui, who among the three of them were wearing white kimonos?"

When Sima Zhen heard the word "ホワイト" (white), he immediately widened his eyes. He quickly said to Sui Wenbin and Wu Xuanlin: "Hey, listen, Miss Shengu is asking about the white kimono."

Hearing this, Sui Wenbin and Wu Xuanlin also pricked their ears. After all, they both made up for Japanese for a few days. If they couldn't understand words like "yes" or "no", then wouldn't the money for buying textbooks be thrown into the stinky ditch?

When the old lady heard this, her face changed significantly. Then, she slowly said, "Yes, that's right. Mrs. Jiashi often wears a white kimono. When she came to Yeshen Village, she wore this kimono many times."

As soon as this sentence was said, Shengu Xiaoyezi's hand holding the pen shook slightly, and Pei Qingyi's face also changed. As for Sima Zhen, Sui Wenbin, and Wu Xuanlin, the faces were even more exciting.

Is that true?

I recall the woman who appeared in front of the car and was wearing a Baise kimono. Because she had a side face, she didn't see clearly, but the white kimono gave them a deep impression.

What I saw at that time... was Mrs. Jiashi who was killed forty years ago?

Iijima Kazuya also entered the deep forest, and he had already begun to approach the eastern mountain range. He did not believe in the strange stories. However, after all, this matter involved Masashi's wife who had been dead for many years. If Miyo was really alive, as Masashi's friend, he could not hide this matter, right?

The closer you get to the suspension bridge, the denser and lush trees nearby are. Most of the sunlight is blocked, and the surroundings are very deep. Although Kazuya Iijima does not believe in ghosts and gods, he is somewhat palpitations.

"Is this where Izi said she saw Miyo?"

It was less than a hundred meters away from the suspension bridge. If it weren't for the obstruction of the trees in front of him, he could have seen the cliff and suspension bridge at this moment. At least, the sound of the water flowing was already coming into Kazuya's ears.

"However, what did that female detective come to Yeshen Village to do? Was it Yachen entrusted her to investigate Miyo's death? Well, with Yachen's personality, it is very likely, and under the influence of Miyo, he should also trust the detective very much.

At this time, he suddenly recalled the disappearance of Yizi's mother. Yizi was still a child at that time, and her father died before she was born. When Yizi was three years old, her mother disappeared for no reason.

At that time, some people said that this had something to do with that strange story. Although it was an unfounded statement, there were indeed some missing cases in the village in the past forty years, but it was too old and no one went to verify it again.

Finally, he came to the front of the suspension bridge.

Should I walk up? Kazuya was also thinking. His eyes were staring at the opposite side of the suspension bridge, and he couldn't see the mansion clearly because of the countless trees. In recent years, these woods have grown increasingly dense.

"Izi really misread it?" Kazuya scratched her head and said, "She must have misread a person who is somewhat similar to Miyo as her. Why don't I go back first? Even if I come, I'll ask Goro to come with me next time."

However, for some reason, Kazuya still stepped onto the suspension bridge.

"Forget it, we've all come here. It's nothing to take a few more steps, right?"

He walked slowly. Although the suspension bridge was not made of wooden, who knew if there would be any problems over the years? There was a deep ravine below. He still walked very carefully and didn't even dare to look up and kept looking at the ground under his feet.
